Psychiatric examination of all eight adult males with the karyotype 46,XX diagnosed in Denmark till 1976.

Psychiatric examination has been made in all eight adult males with the karyotype 46,XX diagnosed in Denmark til 1976. Apart from emotional immaturity in most probands, no psychopathological traits were found, except in one who had neurotic symptoms. They were all of normal intelligence and socially well adjusted. All had male psychosexual orientation, but weak sexual libido and potency were found in the oldest probands. In several respects males with 46,XX differ from Klinefelter males with the karyotype 47,XXY, and the reasons for this are discussed.
